Channel rail operations resume normal service after strike by French workers

Eurostar and Eurotunnel back up to speed as weather warnings for travellers across the UK also ease

Normal rail operations through the Channel tunnel have restarted after a strike by French workers disrupted Christmas travel for thousands of people.

Passenger services on Eurostar between London and Paris are running, albeit with some relatively minor delays, while Eurotunnel said its car-carrying LeShuttle train service was also operating to schedule in both directions with regular departures.
